God will be present to lead and guide us in decision making and assist us to make the right choices too. The importance of God’s presence in the life of a believer can’t be overemphasized because without the presence of God, a believer is powerless and empty.

When three enemy nations rose to war against Israel, praising and worshiping God which was a strategy used by king Jehoshaphat won the victory for them and God confused their enemies, and they began to fight and kill themselves. Likewise, another benefit of praising and worshiping God is that it gives victory over difficult situations and circumstances. It reveals solutions and helps to fight battles we can’t see. Instead of getting worried over a situation you can’t change, try praising and worshiping God that he has done it by focusing on Him and see God setting motion to give you victory at last.

6. TO BREAK CHAINS AND OPEN DOORS: Acts 16:16-40

When Paul and Silas were taken, chained and thrown into prison in the above text, midnight praise and worshiping of God broke all chains from their legs and opened the prison’s doors. It shows that praising and worshiping God can break chains and open doors. Stop looking at the mountain or the bad report but learn to trust in God by praising Him and He will set you free. He will free you from every chain holding you back and every bondage that you are in. Not just that but other people in your families, church, and the world over will be freed from their bondage. Notice how the chains of other prisoners were also removed (Acts 16:25). Stop complaining and praise God. When we praise and worship the Lord, He arises, and our enemy’s scatter.
